Umm, Yeah!<\/strong><\/p>\nThe contest, Stories Beat Stuff<\/strong>, is the chance for travelers to trade a physical object or objects that they value for the chance to win a free experience of a lifetime in New Zealand, which if you hadn’t noticed, is kicking off its summer just as those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are heading in the opposite direction.<\/p>\nThe Details<\/strong><\/p>\nTo enter all you\u2019ve got to do head over to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebuzzing.co.uk\/rd\/32767_7842_738079_54980_45178_111664\/www.storiesbeatstuff.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Stories Beat Stuff page here<\/a>, and submit a video or a photo of what you would trade for a trip to New Zealand. Don’t forget to choose three of your best friends that you want to come along with you, and then share your entry round via Facebook\/ Google+\/ Twitter to get as many votes as possible.

Your trip will include time spent in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in style. One minute you may be sipping coffee at a beachside cafe, next thing you know be shopping designer labels at a local boutique. Don’t forget world-class art, inner-city gondola rides and nights out in the club.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jp1YiOeu-jc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\nEven better, there is also a second prize draw just for voting.

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing one hates to do more while traveling than shave. Not only does it take up precious time that could better be spent exploring, eating, drinking, snorkeling and\/or hammocking, but there’s nothing that says “intrepid\/rugged traveller ” like a bushy multi-week beard prone to cereal milk collection and gnat infestation. This, New Zealand, is the prospect you face if I win.<\/p>\n[<a title=\"Stories Beat Stuff\"
